Official:Authorizing the Philadelphia Authority for Industrial Development (PAID), notwithstanding any contrary requirements of the Philadelphia Industrial and Commercial Development Agreement between the City, the Philadelphia Industrial Development Corporation (PIDC), and the PAID, to convey fee simple title to a certain property located in the vicinity of Forty-ninth Street and south of Parkside Avenue, for less than fair market value, under certain terms and conditions.
Sponsor: Councilmember Blackwell
Introduced: September 14, 2006
: Committee on Public Property and Public Works
Status: Lapsed
This bill was introduced in the 2004–2007 Council term and when that term ran out. The public record shows no committee vote and no floor vote at any stage, so no member of Council ever went on record for or against it.
That is not unusual here. Of the 8,465 bills introduced between 2000 and 2025, 1,624 lapsed without a single recorded vote. Ninety percent of bills that became law carry a roll call. Three percent of lapsed bills do. How this works.
This bill allows PAID to give a property in the vicinity of Forty-ninth Street and Parkside Avenue to someone for less than its full value.
